If the fear-mongering abuse of data isn’t bad enough, NeighborhoodScout.com also writes, “These neighborhoods are the epicenters of violence in America, where social issues are likely to ignite into violence and spread.” What a bizarre statement. Apparently the folks at NeighborhoodScout.com think that violence emerges from “social issues” and, in these neighborhoods, is “likely to spread.” They make domestic violence and targeted gang- and drug-related violent crime sound like a riot or rebellion–you never know when one will ignite and spread, so you’d better stay away. How completely irresponsible of the authors.
